This is a bug report for perl from sthoenna@efn.org\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.

When you specify -Dstatic_ext but not -Ddynamic_ext to Configure\, it builds those extensions as both dynamic and static and lists them twice in extensions.
I assume this is not intentional.
It may not be intentional but it would be very useful for embedding if there was a way to build .a libraries as well as .so loadables.
That way embedder could choose how extension was made available to embedded perl independantly of how perl itself got the extension.
I was considering using this non-intentional side effect to allow that to happen. But the side effect is not quite right.

Right. Offhand\, the patch looks ok to me.

Not quite right how? You can always specify both dynamic_ext and static_ext with some extensions in both\, though that involves knowing what the available extensions are before running Configure.
After my patch (assuming usedl): ..../Configure opts resulting static_ext resulting dynamic_ext none none avail_ext -Dstatic_ext=foo foo avail_ext less foo[*] -Ddynamic_ext=foo avail_ext less foo foo -Dstatic_ext=foo -Ddynamic_ext=bar foo bar
[*] before my patch\, this is avail_ext including foo
Would it be useful to be able to include a '*' or something in static_ext or dynamic_ext to mean any not-otherwise-specified extensions?
Then -Dstatic_ext=foo -Ddynamic_ext='foo *' would build all extensions as dynamic and foo as static also.
BTW\, who is the Configure pumpking now? Jarkko? There was an unanswered question from someone who wanted to patch (add to?) the metaconfig units in bugid #15015.
